However, Stockton might have been a superb NBA player but then again he has involved himself in silly controversies. Recently, he made several unscientific and silly statements involving the COVID-19 vaccine.

In a recent interview with Michele Tafoya, Stockton claimed that he had proof that “hundreds” if not “thousands” of professional athletes have died after being vaccinated against Covid-19.

Now some time ago, Stockton in an interview with the Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Washington, claimed that he knew of 150 athletes who had died from the Covid-19 vaccine.

“I think it’s pretty much on record, there’s 150, I think it’s now over 100 professional athletes dead. Professional athletes, in the prime of their life, dropping dead vaccinated, right on the field of play, right on the field, right on the court,” Stockton said before.

John Stockton’s previous comments on the COVID-19 vaccine garnered harsh criticisms from fans and media, while media outlets like The Wrap stated that “Those claims are not backed up by any scientific or factual data.” 

Furthermore, during the podcast named Sideline Sanity with Michele Tofoya, Stockton made a bold claim that, “I knew at the time that 150 was a dramatically low number,” while also saying that he has proof of the athletes who died when he made those claims to the Spokesman-Review.

“I went back and looked; I have names, pictures, faces, where they played,” Stockton continued. “I had over 300 at the time, so I felt pretty confident with my 150, and again people had to come out and discuss it. I had the proof in my hands: a piece of paper with the names on it.”

“Now it’s a lot more than that,” Stockton said. “I think it’s thousands now, but don’t quote me. I’m not saying it’s 1,000 or more, but it might be. It’s a big number,” he concluded his statement with that.
